I absolutely enjoyed this book. The only complaint I have is all of the swearing; and there was a lot of it. While this novel has been officially classified as an adult novel, I think it's also suitable for older teens. But anyway, other than the foul language, there's nothing wrong with this book i...

***WARNING: Minor spoilers, nitpicking and ranting ahead***First of all, let me stress that this is a very enjoyable book. It is ably written, quite thrilling and hard to put down. I remember loving the film back in the day, but never realised how much old Spielberg actually changed. Good to learn C...

Almost everyone’s seen the 1993 movie Jurassic Park, infamous for its T-Rex scene in which the Rex terrorizes people in a couple of Land Rovers. The novel is so much better, in that it’s gorier and definitely creepier.There are technical aspects, such as the constant discussion of DNA replication, a...

I'm really surprised by how much I enjoyed this book!

It was good, but I wouldn't go so far to call it amazing. It is very hard to put down, but no more than any other book I've read. My favorite character was Ian Malcolm. I love smart asses, and he is the epitome of one.

Read this when it first came out. I remember starting it at about 10pm, thinking I'd read for just a few minutes to get a feel for it. I couldn't put it down until I finished, at around 4 in the morning! This was the first Crichton book I read, and continued to read everything he wrote, up until the...

I read this too long ago to give it the review it deserves so here is the best I can do.Not bad. My favorite character was actually Ian with all his spouting of chaos theory, interesting enough. The writing style is a bit difficult for me; too much like Stephen King's style for me to find this compl...

Okay, so the science isn't quite there, but it sounds plausible. And probably no one has ever been so gifted at describing the way things go wrong in a cascading error.
